As one of the first DSL customers in SF, I had tons of problems, tons of wet behind the ears ‘techs’ came out, read the db noise on the line and fiddled, to no avail. until a grizzled old line guy came out, climbed the nearby pole, came right back down and said “your line is dust”. Strung a new one and it was night and day. Fast for way back when.

I hate comcast (their voice service is barely acceptable, but frankly improving) but they just sent us a notice that our 5 year old cable ‘modem’ is now outdated and they’d be happy to ship us a new on, since they just upgraded their service in the area (AT&T is always coming by claiming the same). I’m praying it’s fiber optic, but I won’t hold my breath (not enough population density where we are now, the old place… drool). I bet the new boxes have all kinds of new ‘features’… for them. ;)

Time Warner has some incentive to not give a flying flip about your service as long as it occasionally comes up to the spec of what they sold you. Verizon? I had no idea they had terrestial anything, but i live in a cave, just a simple cave man (with blazin fast cable).
